What’s that One Dream that Is Dying a Slow Death in Your Heart & Mind?
I don’t know a single thing about you but I can say with 100% certainty that there must be at least one dream in your heart that is dying a slow death because you poisoned your own dreams with your insecurities and self-doubts.
There was a concept of something called ‘Vishkanya’ in India. In short, Vishkanya is a woman who is trained to become a poisonous woman who could kill anyone with her touch, if she wanted. She became like this because she was trained to taste a little poison every day. The little amount that cannot kill her but will train her to become a poisonous woman herself. There is a whole history about it and trust me, it is a true story. Not a man-made fantasy.
Just so you know, I am not here to give you history classes or write a fantasy fiction blog. I just wanted to give you an example of what we are doing to ourselves.
Just as Vishkanyas were trained to taste a little amount of poison every day, similarly, you are training yourself to taste a little amount of self-doubts, and self-loathing every day.
Self-loathing doesn’t come in big amounts. It starts with your day-to-day tasks in such small amounts that you wouldn’t even notice. Probably, you are still not noticing it.
